Carbery back for Leinster

Joey Carbery has been named in the Leinster starting 15, for Saturday's Guinness PRO14 clash with Southern Kings.

He comes into the team at full back, having picked up an injury in the pre-season game with Bath.

He's named in place of Isa Nacewa, who was sent back to Dublin, having been refused a visa on entry to Johannesburg.

Leinster though confirmed both Nacewa and Jamison Gibson-Park, who was also refused a visa, have successfully applied for a new visa and will link up with the squad in Cape Town on Sunday, ahead of the following weeks clash with the Cheetahs.

Adam Byrne starts on the right wing and Dave Kearney also returning from injury to make his first PRO14 start of the season on the left wing.

Noel Reid has recovered from a hand injury to start in his first game of the season with Rory O'Loughlin outside him in the 13 jersey.

Luke McGrath and Ross Byrne are the half back combination for the second week in a row.

In the pack Ed Byrne makes his first start in Leinster colours at loosehead prop.

Beside Byrne is Seán Cronin at hooker and Andrew Porter at tighthead.

Ross Molony is involved for the first time this season at lock and beside him James Ryan gets his first ever start in Leinster colours.

In the back row Rhys Ruddock captains the side with Jordi Murphy making his competitive return from an ACL injury that he picked up last November in the Ireland against New Zealand game in Chicago. Finally Jack Conan starts at No. 8 for the second week in a row.
